Monday Catch-up
I am happy that THE CLOSER and RIZZOLI AND ISLES have returned to TNT at least for the next couple of weeks.
THE CLOSER
RIZZOLI AND ISLES - There is a murder in the hood, and Jane and Korsak are protecting a witness. The following day, Maura and Jane get called out to a crime scene, and they see her witness with the "snitch" written on his forehead. Korsak will not give up his CI, and his lieutenant tells him to give up his CI or his badge. He gives up his badge. There is a good twist at the end of who the real killer is, which I won't give away.
I am also catching up on CASTLE and HAWAII FIVE-O.
CASTLE -
HAWAII FIVE-O -
I also have caught up on some episodes of ROOM CRASHERS, YARD CRASHERS, and HOLMES INSPECTION this evening.
I have all of TERRA NOVA on the DVR but have not started the series yet. Probably will watch it over the winter when all of the other shows are on. Off to watch, CHELSEA LATELY...

THE MUPPETS
http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/disney/themuppets/
I was so looking forward to seeing this movie. I went with my parents and few friends on Thanksgiving. I have so many good memories of watching THE MUPPET SHOW as a kid. I thank Jason Segel for going to Disney Studios and convincing them that we needed another Muppet movie. I loved the old cadence of the jokes in the movie, and I like that they played to the fact that the Muppets had not been around in a while. I liked the addition of the new Muppet, Walter. The humans were good in this as well.
I have to admit that I shed some tears when Kermit began to sing RAINBOW CONNECTION. I also thought that some of the jobs that some of them have had since the last episodes of the show. I highly recommend to kids of all ages...

Sunday Catch-up
Over the past weekend, I have been catching up on my television. I will spend the next week catching up on my posts, as there a lot of reruns this week. I am now caught up on ONCE UPON A TIME. There have been five episodes so far.
101 (Pilot) - This is the pilot episode of the story. The wedding of Snow White and Prince Charming is interrupted by the Evil Queen, who threatens the kingdom with an evil curse. Following this, Geppetto and Pinocchio build a cupboard with will allow one person to escape the curse when it comes. They put there daughter, Emma, in the cupboard when the curse comes. All of the people of the kingdom are transported to Storeybrooke, Maine, and have no memory of there other life, except the Queen who is now know as Regina, and is the town mayor. in the episode Emma, now 28, is tracked down by a ten-year-old boy who claims to be her son Henry who she had given up for adoption. Regina is his adoptive mother. Emma brings him back to the town, as he tells her his belief about the town and its inhabitants. Emma decides to stay for a while, after a run in with some of the residents of the town.
102 (The Thing You Love the Most) - Regina spends most of the episode trying to get Emma out of town as she sees her as a threat for Henry's affection. In the kingdom, the Evil Queen spends most of the episode preparing to release her curse. She tries using the heart of her favorite horse and a lock of hair from the five most evil characters of the realm, but it does not make the powerful enough. She goes to Rumplestiltskin, who tells her that she must cut out the heart of the one she loves most. This turns out to be her father, who also happens to be named Henry, which we learn when she puts a black rose on his grave. Rumplestiltskin, who is known as Mr. Gold in Storeybrooke, is the one who help to organize Henry's adoption in the past.
103 (Snow Falls) - In this episode we learn the original of how Prince Charming and Snow White met. Prince Charming is the nickname that Snow White gives him, but his real name is James. Snow White is a thief, who steals from the Prince who is riding in a carriage with another woman. In Maine, Snow White is know as Mary Margeret Blanchard, and is Henry's teacher. Prince Charming is a man who is unconscious in the hospital under the name John Doe. Mary reads to John Doe, and he touches her arm. He wakes up later in the episode, leaves the hospital, only to be found near a bridge by Emma and Mary, and the sheriff. they bring him back to the hospital to be met by Regina, who has found the man's wife, who tells them that his name is David Nolan. This women is the same as the one that James was riding with in the carriage. Emma feels that Regina is hiding something, and decides to take Mary up on her offer to stay with her, neither of them realizing that they are mother and daughter.
104 (The Price of Gold) - This episode gives the backstory of Cinderella. Instead of being granted her wish by her Fairy Godmother, she is granted her wish of attending the ball by Rumplestiltskin, who killed the godmother. He tells her that all magic has a price. At the her engagement party to the prince, he tells her that he requires her first born.
I am also caught up on CSI: MIAMI.
LEVERAGE has also started again tonight. Tonight episode is called the The Experimental Job.

This weekend...
I have been watching quite a bit of TV and plan to catch up on my writing this week. The niece and nephew are in town, so we have watched CARS 2 http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/disney/cars2/ twice all the way through, and two other times part of the way through.
I also saw BREAKING DAWN, Part 1 http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/summit/thetwilightsagabreakingdawnpart1/ this past Friday. It was good, but really just half a movie. Could have left out almost an hour from this part, and given me a 3 hour movie. Now looking forward to Part 2, which comes out next summer.
Last week saw the IMMORTALS http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/immortals/, and J. EDGAR http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/wb/jedgar/. IMMORTALS was visually good, but was basically eye candy for women and gay men. Not much story, but the battle scenes were cool.
J. EDGAR was amazing. It will run the gambit with nominations for both the Golden Globes and the Oscars. Leonardo DiCaprio was amazing as usual. Makeup on Armie Hammer could of been better, but was not distracting. Naomi Watts was subtle, but still amazing. I love watching Clint Eastwood movies, because he always employees great actors, who give great performances...

Catching Up, Part 2
Just watch an episode of HOLMES INSPECTIONS and now listening to ITunes as I am typing in the blog. Watched the Friday episode of EXTREME MAKEOVER: Home Edition with my Mom. It was a good episode. Glenn Close nominated the family for makeover. They created a "quiet" house for a soldier that has been suffering with PTSD and has been living away from his family for a few years. If you need a good cry every week, I highly recommend this show.
CRIMINAL MINDS 704 (Painless) - this episodes calls upon the memories of Columbine. The BAU team travels to Boise to look into murders of survivors of a school tragedy that occurred ten years prior. The killer is targeting the group that appeared on talk shows right after event, and had been the partner of the original killer, but never got any of the credit. Reed and Morgan trade pranks against each other during the episode. 705 (From Childhood's Hour) - The team responds to a case that involves the ubduction of young children. All of the mother's have trouble in there lives, and the UNSUB takes the kids because he feels that he can give them a better life. In a smaller story, Rossi meet's with his first wife, who at the end of the episode tells him that she has ALS and would like for him to help her end her life before she degenerates. 706 (Epilogue) This is a very weird episode. The UNSUB drowns his victims and brings them back to life multiple times. The team believes that he is from the area where the bodies have been near the mountain lake. Rossi's wife decides to take pills when she knows that he is coming over. and he stays with her until she passes. She knew that he could not help her die, based on his beliefs.
PRIME SUSPECT 104 (Great Guy, Yet Dead) 105 (Regret's I've Had a Few) 106 (Shame) - I give the same review that I gave a few weeks ago. Beside Mario Bello, I am not liking this show, but for some reason keep watching it. I do not like any of her fellow detectives, or either of her bosses. They are a bunch of chauvinistic pricks. Her Dad is tolerable.
CASTLE 405 (Eye of the Beholder) - This is a good episode. Beckett is jealous of an insurance investigator, Serena Kaye, and of course Castle eats up all of the attention. The murder is an art gallery. No surprises in this episode, and nothing more leading to the investigation of who shot Beckett at the end of last season. 406 (Demons) - Good Halloween episode despite having aired the week before. A ghost hunter is found dead in a haunted house. Castle immediately thinks it is something supernatural, and Beckett decides to look for physical evidence. Very CLUE-like episode. Didn't expect the killer. 407 (Cops and Robbers) - Castle and his mother are stuck in a bank during a bank robbery. Beckett and her team do whatever they can to get them out. Alexis is upset that she cannot do anything for them, and turns to her boyfriend Ashley, who is not there for her. Beckett and Castle send messages to each other. I will not give away the ending, but will tell you that the bank robbers are blown up before the end, and are not the main bad guy of the episode...
FRINGE 404 (Subject 9) - The Fringe team is seeing a weird electrical disturbance, which approaches Olivia first, and Walter believes that it is targeting her. He comes to think that it is a form of astral projection, and remembers that one of the children from the cortexiphan trials had the beginning of that ability, Suspect 9, now known as Cameron. They track him down, but Walter discovers that he is not the source of the disturbance, but can control it. The go to a power grid to get more power, and Olivia notices a figure int he disturbance. Cameron dissipates it, and in the following scene, Peter appears in the lake that he had fallen into as a child when Walter brought him over. He is brought to Fringe, but no one knows who is he is and he has all of his original memories. 405 (Novation) - The new shapeshifter model, Nadine, hunts down a scientist, who specializes in cell cloning. She provides him with a lab to help her to fix herself and stabilize her body. He finishes her cure, and it is successful. She communicate with the other side with a new type of typewriter, and she is given further instructions, that more are coming. Walter does not accept that Peter is the grown up version of his son. This show continues to be good, but I fear that it will not last past this season. I am one of the dedicated followers, and hopefully there are more of us out there.
SANCTUARY 404 (Monsoon) - Magnus travels to an island off of Africa to meet with her new money man. There are a few others there, and they are taken hostage by a group of Abnormals who storm the airport waiting for the money man to land. Will and Henry hunt a STENO, and discover that Abby and her new partner (who is a complete idiot) are doing the same thing. They discover that the FBI has set up an Abnormal division, which Abby now works for. The group of Abnormals is taken care of when those being help hostage and Magnus discovers that her money man is actually on of the people who was held captive with her. 405 (Resistance) - Magnus and Henry track an Abnormal to new Mexico to where they believe is the real AREA 51. They break in to find that Tesla is the one heading up the Homeland Security Abnormal Division and Testing Facility. Tesla is working on a new energy source, that uses Worth's time nodes, but there is an issue, of course. Biggie and Will deal with a tiny abnormal that tells them that there are those who refuse to go back to hollow earth, and want to take over the surface. Before Magnus and Henry leave, Tesla slips them information about what the government has planned to do with and against abnormals and where those facilities are. I like this show a lot. It mixes modern, steampunk, history, and a little fantasy into the show. Even some werwolves and vampires into the mix.
BURN NOTICE 513 (Damned if you Do) - This was good episode. I am glad that this has returned for the remaining six episodes of this season. Michael is under the control of Anson, who revealed in the summer finale that he had evidence in the bombing of the federal building that could send Fiona away for the rest of her life. He sends Michael to Puerto Rico to kidnap a software designer that has created a virus that can erase a person from a government database. This designer is running from a drug dealer that he created the virus for. Long story short they, send the drug dealer in to steal the virus, and he is microscopically tagged. The government tracks him after he leaves the facility, but not before Michael and Fiona intercept him and copy the virus file. Jesse and Sam use Michael's mother to help them break into a police computer to see how much evidence they have against Fiona. Good episode as usual.
CHARLIE'S ANGELS 106 (Black Hat Angels) - I am still a little pissed that this show got cancelled. it has started to get better. Granted from where it was, it is like saying a pile of crap smells less. An artist is kidnapped, and the Angels are hired to help find him. They come up against Bosley's old hacking partner, Oswald, who has a bone to pick. They track her down and discover that she is the one that hired them in a ruse to involve Bosley, and then implicate him. She is using the artist to create engraving plates. She escapes and at the end of the episode goes to Kate's father and ask him he wants help trying to discover who Charles Townsend is...

Catching Up...
I have been watching a lot of TV but have not been writing much recently. I will attempt tonight to write more about the shows:
NIKITA 206 (343 Walnut Lane) - Birkoff finds Nikita's birth certificate on the black box. She and Michael head to the address and find a man there just as Division shows up to take him. They bring him back to Birkoff's house, and she begins to bond with him. Amanda asks Alex to help her with a problem, and she needs Percy's help to accomplish this. He gives her information, which she passes on to Nikita. Nikita finds out that the man who she believes is her father is a plant of Percy's that has been inactive for seven years. She kills him, and Birkoff is forced to blow up his own house when Division closes in. 207 (Clawback) - Ryan discovers that Oversight is using Division to perform acts of violence to affect the stock market. He does this by seeing news reports and magazine articles from prison. The money man from Oversight, wants to know how he figured it out, and goes to see him. He is the former he'd of the SEC who now is a corporate raider. Ryan is able to get the name to Nikita, and she hunts down the money man when she believes that Ryan has been killed in prison. We find out that Nathan is the son of a Senator who sits on Oversight, which is the name of the person that Midas calls out as he is killed. Alex finds out that Semak knows she is alive, and has put a hit out on her. Michael goes to see his son. Ryan's death has been faked, and Amanda has him at Division, and wants him make his predictions and analysis for her. This show is getting better, and has lots of intrigue and action. I think the only thing that has saved it though, is that it is on the CW. If it were one of the big three it would have already been cancelled.
THE BIG BANG THEORY 506 (The Rhinitis Reaction). I enjoyed this episode. Sheldon's Mom, played by Laurie Metcalf, returns. She wants to go out and see the sights, and he wants her to do what he wants her to do. He wants her to cook for him, and attend a lecture. Leonard and the other's side with her, and Sheldon is pissed. He sits out in the rain and cold, and when he returns his Mom takes care of him. She does however say that she wants him to go back to Houston to get a second opinion about him being crazy. 507 (The Good Guy Fluctuation) - Leonard meets a girl named Alice at the comic book store. She is played by Courtney Ford, who was on the last season of TRUE BLOOD. They schedule a date to go out, but he is hesitant as he does not want to hurt Priya. He goes to Alices house, but as things get hot and heavy, he tells her he has a girlfriend that he does not want to hurt. When he gets home, he has an ichat with Priya and tells her what happens. She then admits to him that she slept with her ex, and he gets made and shuts off the chat. 508 (The Isolation Permutation) - More wedding prep in this episode. Amy is upset when she is elf tout of looking for bridesmaid's dresses. She begins to breakdown. Sheldon goes to her house when he can not get a hold of her. She wants him to sleep with her to make her feel better. After negotiations, they cuddle. Sheldon gets pissed at Howard and Leonard, and tells them to get control of there women. To make up for leaving her out, Bernadette decides to have Amy be the maid of honor instead of Penny. Good episode, but the weakest of the season so far.
CSI 1205 (CSI, Down) - I thought that this was a good episode. Eckly's daughter, Riley takes a spot on a rescue helicopter instead of Greg. The victim that they have picked up ends up hijacking the helicopter and shooting one of the EMT's. It is really a building episode for her character, and the strained relationship between her and her father, who is also her father. 1206 (Freaks and Geeks) - The murder in this episode takes place at a freak show at the circus. The victim is found with needle's stuck through her arms, and at first they think it is some kind of BDSM ritual. They come to find out that she is the "Human Candleabra" and the needles hold up the candles. There is also a love story with an "Elaphant Man" and the victim. Good, but not great episode. Catherine is getting better at following DB Russell's lead.
HARRY'S LAW 205 (Bad to Worse). Harry defends a teacher played by Jason Alexander. He has been fired due to the efforts of a local preacher. He failed a straight A student in his biology class when he did not believe in evolution, and tried to answer the questions on his tests through the idea of creation. Later in the episode the preacher's wife is found dead in the teacher's garage, dead. I will leave it to you to watch the episode to see who was guilty for the murder. 206 (The Rematch) - Harry once again goes up against Rosanna. She is defending her nemesis from last season, who has facilitated the return of a kidnapped girl. DA Rosanna, has charged him with aiding and abetting. He was compelled to help because when he was a DA he refused to negotiate with a kidnapper, and the child died. Both closing arguments are compelling, but Harry prevails, but she and Rosanna agree that it might not be the best thing for her client.
REVENGE 104 (Duplicity) - I enjoyed this episode a lot. Very devious. Emily goes after the psychiatrist who had her put in an institution while her father was in prison. She discovers that the doctor tapes her sessions, and creates a website showing clips from the sessions of the Hampton elite ladies, including herself to push suspicion off of her. She causes Victoria to suspect Lydia, as Lydia's sessions are not released. Tyler continues to try to breakup Daniel and Emily. 105 (Guilt) Lydia returns and wants her house back. All of the craziness takes place at a fundraiser for the victims of the terrorist attack that Emily's father was accused of helping to stage. Nolan puts a hidden camera at Emily's, but she ships it to Lydia along with the remainder of her things. Later this camera shows Frank throwing Lydia off the roof. Nolan collects the camera shortly after. - 106 (Intrigue) - Emily and Nolan ship the footage of Frank to the Graysons' in an effort to get Frank out of the picture, but he is not one to go easy. Tyler continues his antics, and goes as far to drug Daniel and then hits on him, but is rebuffed. Frank is fired, but vows to prove that he is still a valuable asset to Victoria and Conrad. 107 (Charade) - The Grayson are profiles for their 25th wedding anniversary, which causes tension for all involved. Frank continues to look for clues into Emily's past. He goes to the youth authority where she was as a teenager, and breaks into the files after the warden rebuffs his requests for information. He tracks down "Amanda Clarke" who is now working as a stripper. He finds out the she and Emily (the real Amanda Clarke) switched identities. As he is calling Victoria, "Amanda" clocks him over the head. She shows up at Emil'y door at the end of the episode. This show just keeps getting better with each episode. Not happy that I have to wait two weeks for the next one.
NIKITA 206 (343 Walnut Lane) - Birkoff finds Nikita's birth certificate on the black box. She and Michael head to the address and find a man there just as Division shows up to take him. They bring him back to Birkoff's house, and she begins to bond with him. Amanda asks Alex to help her with a problem, and she needs Percy's help to accomplish this.

REVENGE 104 (Duplicity) - I enjoyed this episode a lot. Very devious. Emily goes after the psychiatrist who had her put in an institution while her father was in prison. She discovers that the doctor tapes her sessions, and creates a website showing clips from the sessions of the Hampton elite ladies, including herself to push suspicion off of her. She causes Victoria to suspect Lydia, as Lydia's sessions are not released. Tyler continues to try to breakup Daniel and Emily. 105 (Guilt) Lydia returns and wants her house back. All of the craziness takes place at a fundraiser for the victims of the terrorist attack that Emily's father was accused of helping to stage. Nolan puts a hidden camera at Emily's, but she ships it to Lydia along with the remainder of her things. Later this camera shows Frank throwing Lydia off the roof. Nolan collects the camera shortly after. - 106 (Intrigue) - Emily and Nolan ship the footage of Frank to the Graysons' in an effort to get Frank out of the picture, but he is not one to go easy. Tyler continues his antics, and goes as far to drug Daniel and then hits on him, but is rebuffed. Frank is fired, but vows to prove that he is still a valuable asset to Victoria and Conrad. 107 (Charade) - The Grayson are profiles for their 25th wedding anniversary, which causes tension for all involved. Frank continues to look for clues into Emily's past. He goes to the youth authority where she was as a teenager, and breaks into the files after the warden rebuffs his requests for information. He tracks down "Amanda Clarke" who is now working as a stripper. He finds out the she and Emily (the real Amanda Clarke) switched identities. As he is calling Victoria, "Amanda" clocks him over the head. She shows up at Emil'y door at the end of the episode. This show just keeps getting better with each episode. Not happy that I have to wait two weeks for the next one.
Books
Currently reading quite a few books. I have just finished two of Laurell K. Hamilton's books: MICAH and DANSE MACABRE. Both were good. Anita is growing greatly in power. I am surprised about the amount of sex scenes in these books, as they have more than other vampire series, like the Anne Rice or the Charlotte Harris novels. I have seen the Twilight movies, but the books are still on my "to-read" list.
I am also reading:
ENOUGH by Bill McKibben
COMMITTED by Elizabeth Gilbert
POWER of SIX by Pittacus Lore
CONVERSATIONS WITH MYSELF by Nelson Mandela
HARLEQUIN by Laurell K. Hamilton
I have also been enjoying the Tess Gerritson novels, and try to keep up with David Baldacci and James Patterson.

On the Road...
I have now gone mobile with my blog. I have purchased a Logitech keyboard for my Ipad, and now can blog from anywhere. Granted as I tip this I am sitting in my living room, but I have increased my possibilities. Just got back from the comic book shop on Washington and Centinela. Bought only five comics today, and I am doing my best to keep up with my reading. I am also trying to catch up on the BATMAN comics from last year regarding the death of Bruce Wayne leading up to his return before the launch of the NEW 52...
Movies
I saw four movies last week and only one this weekend. (You will have to cut and past links to Apple trailers.) I haven't figured out how to do the hyperlink yet...
PUSS IN BOOTS - I liked it. Reminded me a little of ZORRO, and there were a lot of cat jokes in it. Antonio Banderas and Selma Hayek always play off each other well. Recommend for kids of all ages. Good, but not as good as the Shrek films. http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/dreamworks/pussinboots/
THE DOUBLE - Spy movie with Topher Grace and Richard Gere. Reminded me of the old spy movies of the 70's and 80's. Tinges of NO WAY OUT in there as well. Good twist at the end, which is not given away in the preview. (http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/thedouble/)
ANONYMOUS - To be or not to Be...Was Shakespeare a fraud? Were his plays actually written by a nobleman with ties to Elizabeth 1? Good historical film which takes some liberties with story. If you are fan of Shakespeare and/or history, I recommend this film. (http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/anonymous/)
IN TIME - Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried were both good in this. Good science fiction movie that seems very plausible. Time is the currency in the film... (http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/fox/intime/)
TOWER HEIST - Good comedy. Great Cast. Good Action. You will have to make your own determination. Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy play off each other well, and Alan Alda is a devious bad guy in this. (http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/universal/towerheist/)
